How to change language in Visual Studio 2017

Engineers love the new tools – that’s a fact. New IDE release is kind of Christmast Eve for all developers of a platform. Releasing Visual Studio 2017 is not an exception!

It has tens of cool features which are widely described all over the Internet. The problem is, that those tutorials and reviews are all in English and my Visual Studio installed in… a default language of my system – Polish.

I can’t get so deep into a idea of translating IDE, so I will just leave it without comment, so let’s go to the instruction.

First, go to the VisualStudio Installer – a little app which handles this bold venture called “Instalation of Visual Studio”. You can find it here:

I had English and French language packs selected in the Installer, and I couldn’t make VS 2017 to use English. In the options, I had the choice between “French” and “Same as Windows”, my Windows 10 being configured as English language.
Even selecting the “Same as Windows” was getting me the French UI.

I had to remove the French language pack in order to get English working.
